Happy as larks... once again

It's amazing to lay in my bed at night and know once again, all three of my children are under our roof. Deep,deep breath in... No more worrying about things that could go wrong. No more worrying about the simple things, most of us take for granted when it comes to our own kids. Like, are they having to take on the parenting role tonight. Who's fixing dinner or worst yet, is HE hungry. The list of what could go wrong- what was probably going wrong- plagued my mind, for the past two months. I hope I never take one minute I have with my children for granted, again... but yet I'm sure I already have. I hope I never forget the feeling of having one taken from us, it was a mixture of someone sitting on my chest and being held under water. If I can always remember that feeling, I can appreciate more moments with them. What should have taken months on end, possibly years in the court system was done in two months. It's amazing what the Lord can do. I still don't have understanding why someone, so young, that clearly wanted to live for the Lord was made to go through something so horrible. No one could believe the deteriorating living conditions we pulled him out of ... the thought of sending him back in was beyond awful. I'm sure one day I will have understanding. I'm willing to endure whatever I have to for the greater good ***and those can be TALL words, as I have found out. This quote really help me during all of this: "Everything will be okay in the end. If its not okay, its not the end." Also, a song called; Didn't I Walk On The Water and some words a good brother told Kevin (that I held on to for dear life) and they came to pass. I know so many of my followers prayed. I know it took every prayer and I'm so thankful. I hope that if (or I should say when) the shoe is on the other foot that Kevin and I can repay you all for the love you've shown to us.

Live

Ezekiel 16:6 And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine own blood, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live; yea, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live.
